SOS Dog MUTT Moon Hall of Fame Announcement

While the dust still settles on the Dog Moon, and the Ghost Moon fades for another year, SOS will induct another survivor into the Hall of Fame, in keeping with my pledge to catch up with Hall of Famers over the summer – at least until a cure for the dread Survivor of the Month curse can be found.

Thanks to everyone contributing to Survival research this moon. Long may you keep on keeping on! Without you, there would be no SOS.

Do you know this survivor? 

1. Has this moon in his name. Well sort of. At least in part of it.

2. Yet he is not all werewolf, strictly speaking. He is somewhat more of a mix than most, and his name means that too.

3. Once believed himself to be the last of his kind

4. Owing to this, he sometimes rhymed.

5. Many thought he would never speak again

6. But a trip to the underworld gave him the yen.

7. And something else. Please keep on while we fill you in…

8. It took an angel and a pastry chef and a demon, just to bring him back.

9. After a nasty Silverbloods attack.

10.  But what exactly was in that evil eclair? ‘Cuz we’re still trying to determine his new plan here…

Mr. Mutt

Mr. Mutt

If you, like Stigma, guessed everyone’s favourite Heinz 57 werewolf hybrid, Mr. Mutt? Congratulations, you were right! Looking back over the years, I see whenever SOS got weird – er, weirder –  Mr. Mutt has been there to warn me. When I see an email from Mr. Mutt on my phone I know something’s going down and I better get to the site as soon as possible.

Confession time here. I actually thought we had already inducted Mr. Mutt into the Hall of Fame, but then Graham reminded me why we scrapped that plan. It was based on Mr. Mutt’s last comment way back here in February, when we thought he didn’t survive. And unfortunately by definition, one must be actively surviving to be inducted into the Survival Hall of Fame. Otherwise it’s kind of like, false advertising.

So I’m glad you’re back Mr. Mutt. Even if you are possessed by a demonic pastry chef or whoever your demon turns out to be, it’s great to know you’re still keeping on out there in the world, surviving and still lending a paw from time to time. I’m glad we can finally add you to the Survival Hall of Fame.

Thanks to everyone still surviving with SOS this month.

Zyboragon SOS Hall of Famer

Hall of Fame Announcement
Hall of Fame announcement in progress…

In keeping with my pledge to catch up on the Hall of Fame inductions around here, I invite you to take a minute to read about the next SOS Hall of Famer to be inducted on Sunday, June 02. You may be surprised! I know I was.

Fast Fact About Zyboragon:

Zyboragon

1. Zyboragon is a green water dragon whose scales are very valuable and change color with the seasons. He has a prosthetic metal arm, if I’m not mistaken, the result of a long ago battle gone wrong.

2. He fought in and survived the dread Void Wars with minimal casualties. Unless you count aging an extra few hundred years and getting hit by a comet.

3. In fact, personally I think the Void Wars made Zyboragon stronger or at least wiser because he has kind of become famous around here for pithy, paradoxical and inspiring statements including:

It’s not what you are that determines what you can do.

It’s always a good time to learn.

A different approach, interesting but boring!

Making a difference is a simple as taking five minutes from your day to help someone else.

4. Zyboragon is uniquely capable of surveiling the supernatural weather and has saved many lives with his timely alerts.

5. Like any older dragon who is excellent at meditation, he is prone to loooooooooooooog, very long, many-O naps upon his treasure, which he keeps in a secret location. Which as of today, there is a standing bounty for anyone who can correctly pinpoint Zyboragon’s dragon lair full of treasure. (Or narrow it down, at least.)

*Note, results obtained by torture will not be accepted. Reasonably polite taunting however, is permissible. 

6. Because in Zyboragon’s secret lair he may or may not have stashed Forresst Fenn’s treasure – along with whatever other treasure he has dragon-ed away.

(You may recall how Zyboragon taunted my St. Patrick’s Day efforts to obtain this treasure for myself. I know I certainly do!)

7. Used to possess a coveted wormhole key that enabled him to teleport people. Does he still? Only one way to know for sure.

8. For more info about Zyboragon, please see his Survivor of the Month profile here.

9. Or you can just say hi to Zyboragon by posting a reply to any one of his comments below. If he’s not asleep or on a personal mission, he might just answer you back!

10. Leaving this one open for something good because you can’t leave a list at 9 but I want to save this for something good.

SOS Survival Hall Of Fame – 2012 Ghost Moon Inductee

10 Clues About Newest Hall of Famer:

SOS Hall of Famer

1. This survivor time travels into the future at the amazing rate of sixty seconds every minute.

2. Once ate dragon soup and deep-fried dragon and lived to tell about it. (So far anyway. He also has a good friend who is a dragon so we’ll see.)

3. Studied hapgido which is a martial art involving the knees and elbows.

4. Known to vacation in Atlantis with his brothah. (Prize for anyone who can tell us why.) (Seriousleh. Real question.)

5. Speaks Hebrew and Dragonese. (And hopefully didn’t learn either from a bowl of soup.)

6. Time travel jokes aside, has been known to control time with certain instruments, playing songs backwards and forwards to stop or speed up or even rewind time.

7. Once found a lycanthropy “cure” that almost killed every WW on the site.

8. Has a limited number of portal spells he can use to help you if you’re in trouble but

9. Sometimes runs out of mana

10. Although he doesn’t always say much, he has been a shining being of light to many survivors over the years. And by that I do mean in part that he has channeled lightning bolts at many, including me.

I’m sure you’ve all guessed it by now it’s…

ALL ABOUT ALEX:

Okay maybe not ALL about Alex. That would be impossible. Because Alex is in fact the oldest survivor currently here on the site. He is both the one millionth survivor, the two millionth survivor and yes you guessed in the three millionth survivor. Yeah, he comes and goes – everyone has to do that if they want to survive – but the Alex abides. He is the first WWW on the site,  that is, wizard werewolf.

(And now also the first Daevah-daddy, but more about that later.)

Alex doesn’t always say the most of anyone and you do have to watch out for stray lightning bolts especially when he’s using his injured hand to cast, but he’s generous with his portal spells and his funny one-liner help and advice. His advice is often delivered with a lot of creative spelling and *0_o* faces and sometimes in the form of a question.

These are just some of awesome Alex askings:

Why does everyone want to turn anyway?
Why do I agree so much?
Do you mind stuffing me into a shoe?
Why would a human be allergic to pure silver? What human dreams of running 4 legged?
Does anyone want magic lessons?
Wanna know what else is pleasant? YOU CALMING DOWN AND NOT KILLING.|
??????

To understand Alex, remember this. When he first came on the site, it was because like many of us, his parents made him clean up a lot of bloody corpses and as a result the vampires in his neighborhood would not leave him alone. Of course survivors advised him to give up this job and I think he did, because the vampire attacks seemed to improve. Alex even made a couple of vampire friends on the site, including the infamous Vampire A.A.

That’s when he started to study magic, beginning with three simple elemental spells. He’s not one of those wandy wizards though. Alex uses his bare hands, which enables him to cast in wolf form too. The position of his hands and fingers helps determine the spells he casts.

Which is great, except that Alex suffered a mysterious attack one time. Walking down the street one day, he was attacked and a message delivered to him in the form of a spike right through his hand.

That message was pretty strange – totally blank. Magic ink? Did it ever appear? I don’t know. But keep reading because this mysterious stranger appears later in Alex’s story too. The point right now is the injury to Alex’s hand that he uses to cast his spells. Around this time, his spells started to miss. Yes he zapped himself a few times. Did he get his hand insured yet? We don’t know. But it’s something to be aware of if he offers to come and give you a hand – make sure it’s not the injured one.

Injured hand aside, Alex’s magic and advice has been good enough to help plenty of survivors. Tracking down the mysterious Miles. Finding and returning the Vampire A.A’s daywalker ring. Serving as commander in Ice’s army. Helping A.P. to bind Wolf Princess’ soul. Just a few examples.
Did I mention he rained out Wilwolf’s track meet? Now that’s a friend.

Now the latest twist in Alex’s story. The mysterious stranger, possibly the same street. One day the stranger follows him down the street, yelling at him in Latin and then disappears. When Alex translates his words, he discovers the man is calling him a DAEVA, an immortal being of light, with many powers. Now Alex’s family are not Daevish, none of them. Not even his Uncle Potato. So how did this happen? Was it related to the strangers’ attack, the strange message on the spike through his hand so long ago? Or was the man casting a spell on Alex?

We’ll have to watch and see. All we do know so far about it is that, as a Daeva wizard werewolf Alex made a great match for Wolf Princess, a demon wolf. They have a number of pups together so if you see them on the site, stop and say HI! and tell him if you don’t mind stuffing him into a shoe.
